context_section_description: CSAS does not grant undergraduate or graduate degrees, but has a collaborative program for students interested in pursuing a MA or PhD who have already been accepted to study at the University of Toronto. The Collaborative Master's and Doctoral Program in South Asian Studies focuses on basic methodological grounding for students working towards their research degrees. The program builds from an interdisciplinary and critical study of South Asia and as starting point to examine the development of global processes.
  The CSAS offers a minor in South Asian Studies for undergraduate students that is a part of the Contemporary Asian Studies program at the Asian Institute.  The South Asian Studies minor begins with an introduction into the study of Bangladesh, India, Pakistan, Nepal, and Sri Lanka. Students can also take a variety of undergraduate courses from other departments and faculties that can be used toward a CSAS minor.
